Musings about sports in general, & Cricket in particular. With baseball season coming up, will look into that, too. And lots of good cricket in 2007, including the World Cup.

Even though the Australians didn't quite make the whitewash, they still proved that they are capable of handling any team in the world (guess it's hard to avoid the letdown on the last day, & the Windies did have more to fight for at that point: their pride). Perhaps the one day series will be a bit more challenging. We shall see.
Middlesex will have a sense of deja vu after rain saved them in their County Championship match. They drew with Kent at Canterbury after rain again intervened when they were being completely outplayed. It was the second week in succession Middlesex had been forced to follow on and the their openers notched up a 100-partnership in their second innings.
Resuming on 61-0 on the final day, Andrew Strauss and Sven Koenig put on 176 for the first wicket and effectively salvaged the game for Middlesex. Strauss went for 93 and Koenig for 96 as James Tredwell and Ben Trott took two wickets apiece. But the rain again came to Canterbury with Middlesex still two runs short of making Kent bat again, with six wickets in hand. The umpires finally called a halt just after the tea interval.
That's all from the pavilion.
